Can you enter in anything? I think the Pink Oboe might be quite good at it, and want to use it for more than just driftyness. Quite fancy a go at a trackday in it, but that would just end up in a black flag :D

Any websites with good info and stuff? I'm in Kent if that makes any difference (I wouldn't really travel that far for it).

There will be a class for you, just depends on your exact mods Vs rules.

Its good fun, just find a local clubs websitye + events calender :nod:
You'll need a MSA non race national B license. ~£35.

Cool :)

Just to re-iterate though, it would be for tarmac events. I'm not flinging it up a hill full of mud and gravel :D

They do do those, right? I've seen the videos of old F1 type cars doing it in France...

Me and Yak did one last year, think we finished 4th and 5th. It was part of a 16 event sprint and hillclimb series, theres a few threads about our exploits about.

Borough 19 covers your area Steve but is more Sprints than Hillclimbs. The season traditionally starts with a Shakedown sprint in Aprilish at North Weald.

As the Oboe is turboed you will end up in the over 2 litre class.
